All the links to the picture work!
I found out ,even on my end, that I had to click the images 3 or 4 times and then they finally populated
They will work you just have to be persistent.
Automatic rebuilding of an entire website on line is far more slower than Manually rebuilding it on the computer then re-uploading the entire thing.
But it will work sooner or later

Just Reload the page...may have to do it a few times It takes a while for the information to migrate to the new site.
Make sure you are using

Some of the links still do not load, Jim.

I have to say that your skills are truly impressive.

I may have asked you this before. Do you happen to know a gent named Roger Vincent? He is/was (not sure if he is still on this side of the grass) a pretty dedicated muzzle loader builder. Lived a unique lifestyle that was tucked in the woods outside of the town of Berlin, NY. I bought my TOTW kit thru him based upon his recommendations. He showed me his tools and techniques for browning and such. Guy built some really nice rifles in a shed that was barely big enough for the two of us to stand in. He went to the big ML events and was encouraging me to bring my finished rifle to one of them to enter as a first-time builder. Never finished the rifle. I truly think you need to be wired a special way to build rifles like yours. Of course you need the skills and the artistic eye. But I think the mind-set is the most important part.

Bob,
Sorry I still did not hear of him but I bet my buddy from upper-state NY would know of him!
I'm more familiar with my PA brethren.

If you are still missing some links.... keep trying! Some of the ones on the bottom of the page took me about 5 try's and It is my site!
I should have just manually reloading everything but My server Company said it will finally fully migrate sooner or later(?)
Now I just have to wait out all the search engines like Google and such to find the new secure pages and dump all the old links!
The internet is great but at times frustrating!

You mean just keep clicking on them? I get a blank page and nothing happens until it times out.

ETA- I manually entered the address for the Lancaster and now they all come up. Weird!

See that is the big problem! There are so many search engines using the old data That you finally have to give them a kick in the pants to get the secure updated sites!
The folks involved in the 18th century artisan show were having a hell of a time getting to the new Secure site! I was totally embarrased.
The Original links for all my websites are over 15 years old.....That is a heck of a lot of data over the years that the search engine BOTS have gleened ! They need a good punch in the gut to spit out all this old info...to get to the brand new sites It sucks but so goes the internet!

But I'm not using a search engine, I was going directly from your link. I don't know what a search engine would have to do with that. Are you saying there's something connected to your links to the photos that won't let go?
